I went for a rather subdued look for casual Friday today because it is Good Friday and in the Christian faith it's a reflective kind of day. I promise though, I'm not here to shove my religion down anyone's throat as I want all to feel comfortable and welcome here. Anyway, it didn't feel right to wear flashy colors today and this shirt will look nice when I go to Good Friday service later tonight.
Now Easter Sunday on the other hand - I have a fun outfit planned with a colorful dress because that is a day of celebration in the church. And it's going to be chilly here in MN on Sunday, but I am still wearing my dress no matter what! That's why we have nylons right? I need to paint my little toes before then too because even if I wear nylons, I may break out sandals for the first time this year.
Easter Sunday also marks something pretty huge and significant for me - my 40 day shopping ban will be OVER!! Now if that isn't a cause for celebration, I don't know what is! Honestly I don't plan to go crazy, I've mentioned before I might look into a monthly budget to try to help me not go overboard. Because I still need a new laptop and that is going to take priority. Just another paycheck and I *think* I might finally be able to order it! Fingers crossed! (going for a Macbook Air - them bad boys are SPENDY).
Tomorrow my mom is helping me reorganize my closet (and pull out things I don't wear anymore) - figured that is the first step before actually being able to go shopping again right? If we find enough things worth selling off, I might take a load over to Clothes Mentor or maybe I'll save some pieces for a swap (hint hint MN girls). At any rate I'm looking forward to making sense of my closet again - after the bag of goodies from my cousin it's just gotten to be a bit of a mess! And isn't my mom nice to help me with this task on her BIRTHDAY of all days? She's the best!
And then back to Easter, we'll be with my parents for a nice quiet dinner as the Pants Monkey's parents will be out of town. We'll celebrate with his family next Sunday, which is Russian Easter (his grandfather was Russian Orthodox). Double the ham for me!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful Easter if you celebrate - whether it's in a faith filled manner or in a bunnies and eggs type manner!
